HE IS RISEN! ♥

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living HOPE through the RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ from the dead.” 1 Peter 1:3

If Christ had not risen from the dead, HOPE would have remained with Him in the tomb. But He didn't stay where they placed Him. He is alive! HAPPY EASTER family and friends! God bless you as we celebrate our risen Lord!

Jesus said He would rise. His followers hid in fear with crippled thoughts of what had happened. They hid in anguish and pain. But when they were able to see the Savior, they realized the power of God’s authority and understood who raised Him from death.

God’s love for us is never changing. He sent His Son to die on the cross so He could take our sin and bring light to the world of darkness. Jesus rose from the grave that could NOT hold onto Him! Hope shattered the darkness and we are all given the opportunity to be warmed by the SON.

God loves us! The seasons of our lives will bring uncertainty. Our circumstance will change but God will not. He will open our eyes to the power of His will and show us amazing things we’ve never seen before. He will help us learn to trust in the love of His faithfulness and draw us nearer to the love of Jesus.

Our Father’s love will carry us through every day of our lives. God sent His Son, guided Him to grow and led Him to share the teachings of His heart. Jesus understood compassion and love. That is what He gives each one of us. Oh, how we need a living relationship with Him and a grateful heart of trust. 

May you find peace and joy as you celebrate the glory of this day! Praise be to God! Jesus has risen! WELCOME the heart of His love. Breathe in the fullness of what He provides as we faithfully follow Him and never stop walking toward wholeness.   

Dear God, Thank you for the power of Your holiness. Thank you for the promise of Your never-ending love! We celebrate our risen Lord and remember what has already been done for each one of us. As we offer praise to the One who died in our place, humble our hearts as we journey with Jesus and leave doubt behind. Help us feel the peace He provides and fill ourselves full of Your strength. We will LOVE you with all of our hearts and never be ashamed to admit why we need YOU. Thank you for blessing us in so many ways. Thank you for HOPE which comes when we choose to welcome JOY. Thank you, Lord! Thank you! Amen

Happy Easter family and friends! Have a wonderful day. Consider how lucky we are to know the amazing love of Christ and let  gratitude fuel your soul. May we know the joy of Jesus as we follow Him and walk closer to the One who will always take care of us. Have a beautiful day ahead.  He is risen indeed!
